Decriminalize Sex Work

Decriminalize Sex Work by Sienna Mitchell, BonePage.com Staff Reporter

BonePage supports the movement to decriminalize sex work around the world. Coming from a background in the sex work industry as a webcam model, I have unique experience in this subject. Many of my friends are involved in various aspects of sex work. The unfortunate reality is that sex workers often find themselves victims of heinous crimes such as kidnapping, assault, and human trafficking.

Criminalization pushes sex work underground, making it more difficult for workers to report crimes committed against them for fear of legal repercussions. This underground status also limits access to health care and social services, exacerbating the risks of violence, sexually transmitted infections, and mental health issues.

Consider the disparity of current laws that often penalize sex workers more harshly than their clients. This means that those most vulnerable—typically women, LGBTQ+ people, and people of color—face the brunt of legal consequences. Meanwhile, customers, or “Johns,” often escape with minimal repercussions. This imbalance reinforces systemic inequalities.
